9/10: Fantastic, left me wanting more.

We having fun yet, Witchy?”

Hands down favourite character: Quark. That man is brilliant!

This is so much better than Hell’s Rejects. At least it is for me. All due to the characters. I really like Hayley. She’s likeable, whereas I couldn’t get into her mom, Abbey. And Colonel Quark is the spark in the middle of the fireworks.

“Good man-bear,” Quark said. “I like your spirit.”

I also like the visor AI, reprising the only character from the original series that I felt anything for. Gant, the freak-monkey.

The AI chittered like a drunk squirrel.

But is there only one more book? Or is this set to be a long series? I’m not sure which I’d prefer: a quick ending or more time with these characters.

In any case, book three is out and I’m on it!

Still charging!

A few new characters to keep the story going at a "faster than light" speed. The villains are still awaiting their due, so I'm starting the next book at 1 in the morning.

The second in the Justice of the Covenant series and Hayley, Quark and Tibor are on a mission to find the Rider that betrayed them and to have a little word in their shell like! Whilst at the same time stopping the Nephilim and Thetan following through whatever dastardly plan they've come up with now.

They enlist the help of some new Riders along the way, some are short lived, some seem to be excellent additions, they meet the Nanites in a new form and things generally go to hell. Avergae day for a Cage and her friends.

A fast, furious and fun read(well listen in my case), a great addition to this incredibly violent universe.
